There is no better place to kick off a day of Stampede Fun than a stop at Fluor Rope Square Downtown.

Chris Loach with the Downtown Attractions Committe tells 660News, people are invited down to Stephen Avenue Mall , for breakfast and all kinds of western style entertainment.

Among the highlights square dancing, flap-jack flipping and a hat stomp.

Loach says it’s too bad the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge won’t be around to enjoy the fun, which kicks off Saturday morning at 8:15 a.m.
